Ford’s Roush Clean Tech has launched 14 propane-powered trucks and later this year, in a partnership with Freightliner, the propane industry expects to parade out its first Class 7 vehicle and its first diesel-based engine.

“Our fuel likes take the same exact symmetry as the existing lines,” he says. “Take off and put back on in the same spot.”

“They’re not spending $60,000 on a vehicle like this, but they’ll spend 10 or 20-grand for a vehicle with 200,000 miles on it.”

Typical payback on a propane conversion – which can be refueled at a rate of eight gallons per minute – is 18-24 months on 20,000 miles per year, which do not include federal incentives and tax breaks on purchases of green vehicles.
